I really need help with this game
« on: May 17, 2014, 09:29:21 pm »
Hey all i have been playing the game site it came out but haven't managed to win at all yet. I have been playing the "quick play" option as it's the suggested mode till you get better apparently. The may  issue I'm having Is the getting everyone to like each other part I'm fine on getting money and keeping up with research but can't get people to like each other by 300 to get them into the federation. Any help would be awesome even links to help full videos on YouTube ect. Thanks all.

Try researching a new technology with one race then have them give it to another to boost relations. Then go to that race and trade to another. That's a good way to get the peltians to form a federation for safety with andors and skylaxians. Maybe try that one before going for the harder ways to form a federation.

There aren't any good, fast,  and cheap ways of doing it. You'll probably have to settle on picking ~3 races to make into the alliance. Keeping them at peace with each other will be hard enough. The Burulusts, Thoraxians, and Boarines may occasionally declare war, just because they want to. The better choices that raise race relationships are:
  • Create trade routes between races.
  • Get all RCIs into the positives for mutual admiration bonuses.
  • Build Race Relationship Improvement buildings using the Dispatch mission.
  • Minor bonuses can be gained from doing racial specific actions for some races..
  • The Boarines have an ability to improve relations between other races (it's expensive).
  • Laud other races

- I would personally disagree with the decision to make Acutians your starting enemy. They can be useful friends, as you can use some of their corporations to also spread trade and share technologies, etc.
- Once you have learned everything, just turn the tutorials off.
- The easiest ways to win usually mean NOT making everyone happy with you. It is harsh, but you'll need to pick a couple of races that you are NOT going to work with, then you can freely build the attitude buildings that export things they don't like. You can extract and hold their outposts, etc.
- I'd repeat, the attitude buildings make races export something to the galaxy that the other races will like and dislike. Since you usually get equal amounts of like and equal amounts of dislike, these don't really help you to get everyone.
- I'd recommend getting most races space-faring and see who is willing to trade with each other. The Boarines, Burlusts, and Thoraxians don't tend to trade, but the others are willing. Get a block of races to trade with each other, which will give you a solid basis for the attitude buildings.

I did a Let's Play where I play the tutorial/quickstart of the last federation for the first time and end up winning. I don't keep everyone alive though, but you might be interested in it.  It's kinda slow paced as I'm trying to learn stuff about the game, but I imagine it could be a pretty decent learning tool to see someone else who is also new learning the game and trying to examine what is causing what and why. I currently only have 4 episodes up, but I do have them all recorded. I try to put up 1 a day but I might boost that due to the frequent patches and me already having 10 episodes in another last federation let's play recorded as well lol.  I definitely drop F bombs incase you're offended by that...

Don't worry not pertically worried about F bombs lol and i'll check it out thanks for the link, and yeah with the patches almost every day I would suggest trying to get them out asap maybe 2 hours of the series a day (not sure what time fram you have split them up into) this I think should keep you up with the patches
